OK Here goes: I am assuming you know how to work in flstudio... if not there are tutorials to get used to the workflow but in general its pretty easy: Another Note:

you can use another tool and do the same thing be it reason or sonar or any daw that you can export midi and has piano rolls. One more suggestion is do not use ez drummer to do this as it maps midi a little differently you don't want that added hassle...

FLSTUDIO:

Open FL Studio and create a new project

adjust your tempo your tempo to what you want

Drums:

Add a new channel and select FPC (itis the best for this as it shows the different the drum mapping on the piano roll)

now you can either use a pre selected pattern or create one in the piano roll

I suggest making a few variations example: pattern1 base pattern pattern2 double bass variation ect....

quantize

so now you have a few drum patterns

go to playlist and paint each of the patterns in the song where you want them. I suggest doing around 8 or 16 measures

play it as a song to make sure it what you want


Bass:

in a new pattern add new channel and select boo bass

make a 4 bar pattern example: c, (or play around with the groove
You do not need to change root key as your making a style. You just want varied patterns in 1 key.

quantize the bass pattern

same thing applies to the bass pattern make some variations in seperate patterns and quantize

play it as a song to make sure it what you want


you can make other insruments. just repeat above step, however I am unsure of results
as I have done this with bass and drum only


once you have the song the way you want it Save the song.


Got to tools\macros and prepare for midi. Note this step is undoable so save before.

then select file\ export to midi

save the midi file to a directory you want



BIAB:

Opened BIAB new project.

go to Styles \ Style wizard (make style from midi )

then open

select the instruments you want for each track

there are a whole bunch of other options from there but if you just generate the style you'll have your new style.

Note: once I have the new style i disregard the song made and make a new song with the created style.


Have fun... Note: you can edit the new style in the style editor if something doesn't come out quite right but you now have a good base foundation
